Hi dear muimui, we meet again here. What happened these few days ? Korkor 1 came home, must have felt very excited and glad to see him again, I suppose ? So by now he might be on the way leaving home again. Do you miss him ? I am sure you do. Did he bring you anything ?
One of the issue that bother not only korkor but also the surrounding people is, you know, we cannot spend a single cent on you, even when we insist to. Do you think that everything we wish to have for you is redundant ? Or those who wish to get you something are really silly ? That had they not been so silly, would not have wished to get for you ? Why look down to the others ?
Haha, but korkor know all these are NOT the real reason. Muimui do not want, because you think that nothing should be accepted when there's no contribution. You told me of this. But why ? It is for sure, when guys or girls hang out, you will need money somewhere. Unless you just want to melepak for the whole day looking at the others shopping around.
Seems like muimui like to spend own money. Korkor cannot prevent muimui from doing that. However, there are sometimes, when it is only wise for korkor to pay for something, cause in reciprocal, muimui is paying for something else too. From my opinion, since everyone pays for something, it has been even out. Therefore, we do not have to be over sensitive to the sum of the amount everyone has paid then divide by the amount of the people to get the exact amount each of us should pay. It does not bother me. We are not those who are very calculative. At least not korkor, not muimui.
Korkor is not telling muimui do not be accurate over money. We have to. Korkor still remember there was once, should be the second time korkor went to muimui's home, when we were about to leave, mama told korkor 1 to pay a small sum to the crazy talktative aunty Ah-Ni who have a very pretty daughter. Mama said it was because the aunty helped to buy something earlier. And mama said, when it comes to money, we have to be accurate.
Until today korkor still do not understand why at that particular time mama suddenly said that to korkor. Others such as you all and Daniel were just watching. It was clear that mama was saying that to me. Maybe she thought korkor have overspent on girls, which of course I did not, do not, and will not.
Precisely, this is the way we should be when it comes to money. When we are dealing with outsiders, we must be clear on everything, so to avoid any mistake or misunderstanding. However, among ourselves, it is only alright that we buy you something and not demanding you to pay me back. Had I done that, muimui would have said korkor as very stingy and mean. Anyway, muimui you may deny this.
So this is the first point. You don't give strangers and kakilang the same treatment. This is the same everywhere. You don't have to pay when you are enrolled in national primary or secondary. You are charged a minimal fee when you go to national universities, good, or public hospitals, touchwood. However, if some aliens, let's say Indonesians, Japanese or Americans come to these national facilities, do you think they are charged similarly ? No way. They never pay tax to the government of this country, so when they try to enjoy the facilities here, they pay much higher. So korkor am not being berat sebelah. Korkor buy muimui things, but never buy for others, cause they are not korkor's muimui.
Korkor still remember there was a time when korkor and some others were going to a church in Bukit Merah some time ago. Korkor was never told the name of its church. They are part of the group that called themselves Local churches, calling themselves as Church at Kuala Lumpur, Church at Seremban, that do not align itself to any of the major denominations, such as Roman Catholic, or Protestants such as Methodist, Anglican, Lutheran, or Sunday Adventist.
A friend of mine also once asked korkor to go to their church in Seremban. From the way they carried out their service, korkor was very sure they are the same. And when it ended, some adults asked which church I usually go in Singapore, I said, of course, our Roman Catholic cathedral, but, I also said I went to their member church before. Ask where their base in Singapore is situated, Bukit Merah, yes. They even said they could send some guys to contact me, and reluctantly I gave them my phone and address, but fortunately no one disturbs me later.
Unlike we Roman Catholic that do not need to have Holy Bible in the Sunday mass, they do. So almost everyone has his or her own Holy Bible. Korkor and another girl, Esther, was first time going to that place. Together with us were Chian and Steven who had been attending for a few times. One day, some girls there, also from NUS, gave Esther a very thick Holy Bible. Wow ! That's impressive. It worths around $ 70 or 80 if I have to buy one for myself. But why they never give me ? Why only Esther ?
On the way home, I was like jokingly asked Chian about this. You know what he said ? "You are a guy, you cannot expect to get everything free."
So this is the second point. Hope muimui like the entry korkor post today. Have a nice day, and think about it when you are free. Mama always say muimui will have to sit for a test by end of September, so, study hard. And fight for honour.
